A spooky little something as we near the end of October, as, Nosferatu-like, I appear to be dissipating into the dying of the light over a wintery beach…

A second set of ‘exquisite corpses’ from my accidental insect necropolis, inspired by Père Lachaise cemetery, the prompt for The Kick-About No.65.

Our kitchen has an angled glass roof running the length of our side-return. Internally, it’s constructed so there is a narrow ledge at the top of the wall, on which the glass panels rest, producing a series of impossible-to-clean compartments. These same compartments are where too many be-winged things go to die during the summer…

From the noise and extravagance of our soundsuit-inspired Kick-About No.64, we’re striking a more melancholy mood this week, as we meander our way past the silent crypts, effigies and monuments of the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris. With All Hallows Eve but a few short days away, what better time to ruminate on the gossamer…

Back in 2015, I took 30+ students to Barcelona. Student field trips are exhausting and stressful for all the reasons you might well predict, but they’re also a huge amount of fun and invaluable experiences.

A last few soundsuit-inspired scraps, courtesy of the artist Nick Cave and The Kick-About No.64.

Really not sure from when or where these photographs date, but likely from mid-2000 or thereabouts. Who doesn’t love physalis, with those perfect paper lanterns and pop of orange. I was obviously drawn to taking these images on a day when the sun was lighting them very pleasingly.

Produced in response to the dancing soundsuits of the artist Nick Cave – our inspiration for The Kick-About No.64 – another set of images, the subject of which is, perhaps improbably, an ad-hoc dancing glove puppet…

When it comes to meeting the fortnightly creative challenge of The Kick-About, needs must, and so it was I fabricated my own much down-sized ‘soundsuit’ from a single yellow glove, wooden buttons, glass eye pieces and strands of colourful wool. I was drawn to some of the goofier, ‘Jim Henson-esque’ elements of some of Nick…
